cAmP

Just came back from VivoCity... Anyway, there was a Children Ministry Camp in Church from yesterday till today afternoon and the youth had to help out. So the whole thing started off with a bang when we played station games. I was one of the stationmasters and the first station was my station.

There were 5 stations in total and for the first station, the kids had to take three tests. Firstly, they had to rest their forehead on a pole and then spin round 10 times. Secondly, Take a skipping rope and skip three times. Lastly, throw three bean bags into a basket. That ended the first station. The next station, the kids had to put cups on their heads and pour water into the cup beside them. The motive: to get everyone wet! The third station was something most of us might have done before. Passing a rubber band with a toothpick at the mouth. The fourth station was a challenging one. The different groups were blindfolded and they had to make their way down two flights of stairs with a leader picking up six toys on the way down. The twist was we only gave them five while making their way down. The other toy had to be "picked up by coming all the way up again. The last station, which I thought was the most fun, was "THE ANGEL OF DEATH". The groups had to pick up 12 purple bricks and stack them up. Of the 12, one will be with the Angel of Death. If they were noisy and unlucky, you should know what would happen! Jason was the Death Angel for the first two groups while I was the Death Angel for the last group. Boy was it fun.

The rest of the afternoon and evening was nothing much actually, but I did learn a bit on how to play the drums... Worse then a beginner's level... haha... Also learnt a few magic card tricks... And after dinner, the children got together and we sang some songs. After that , teacher Yok Mei taught them some things about puppets... Before bedtime, we had supper under the stars. And I mean literally. We were on the roof top of the church. At around 10.30pm, it was lights out... But the youth had a special birthday surprise for Candice. We stayed all the way until 11.30pm... I guess... At 12.30am, I decided it was time to sleep. Some of the guys played computer soccer, while some slept as well.

6.30am... Wakey wakey!!! Argh!!! 5 hours of sleep only... We started to pack up, and made our way for breakfast. At aroun 7.30am, we went to Labrador for picnic and more games. One of the games was WATER BOMBS!!! haha... That was fun. Ernest was drenched after the game... poor fellow... At around noon, we went back to church and departed from there.
